The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season has kicked off swiftly, starting with the historic Daytona 500 on February 27. It was followed by the Wise Power 400 in Fontana, California on February 26 for its second race. Now, all roads lead to Las Vegas for one of the most anticipated races — the 2022 NASCAR Pennzoil 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

NASCAR 2022 season Pennzoil 400 quick description
Apart from the Pennzoil 400, the weekend will also feature the Alsco Uniforms 300 Xfinity Series race on March 5, as well as the Voice Foundation 200 Camping World Truck Series race, which will go down on March 4.
The race is usually held once per year and it ranks among the top five races in both TV viewership as well as attendance. Unlike the recently concluded Wise Power 400, the Pennzoil 400 is somewhat different since it will be three days of fun for NASCAR fans.
The entry will also be different from what we witnessed in the Wise Power 400 as this one will feature 37 cars, with the 37th car being NY Racing's Greg Biffle.
The 1.5-mile tri-oval was first inaugurated in 1996, however, the first Cup Series race was held in 1998. Since then, the track has been holding the race every year.
Reigning champion and Wise Power 400 winner Kyle Larson will be the one defending his win after collecting it in 2021. Joey Logano of Team Penske, on the other hand, will be hitting the tracks to secure the trophy for the third time, having collected it back-to-back in 2019 and 2020.
